Definitions

  • the invention relates generally to methods for maintaining eye health and ameliorating ophthalmic maladies and particularly to methods for using carotenes to maintain eye health and ameliorate ophthalmic maladies in canines.
  • Ophthalmic maladies such as cataracts, retinal degeneration, and cloudy eye are common in canines, particularly canines that are outdoors and exposed to excessive sunlight and to aging canines. Methods for counteracting some such maladies are known in the art.
  • WO2009051223 discloses using vascular-adhesion-protein- 1 (VAP-1) inhibitors for treating cataracts.
  • US20090082415 discloses using a mixture of topical carriers having carbomer, glycerin, ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid, benzalkonium chloride, balance water, and aldose reductase inhibitors for treating optical complications of diabetes in dogs.
  • US744271 1 discloses using N-hydroxy piperidine compounds for the amelioration of cataracts and other ophthalmic diseases.
  • US20060084685 discloses using roflumilast for the treatment of various eye diseases. These methods are, however, insufficient to solve all the problems associated with these and other ophthalmic maladies. There is, therefore, a need for new methods for ameliorating ophthalmic maladies in canines.
  • the methods comprise administering to the canines an ophthalmic malady ameliorating amount of one or more carotenes.
  • the carotenes are administered to the canines in amounts of from about 0.1 to about 5000 milligrams (mg) as desired or in amounts of from about 0.1 to about 500 mg per day.
  • the carotenes accumulate in the canine's eye tissue and ameliorate ophthalmic maladies caused by radiation or free radicals.
  • radiation means electromagnetic waves having wavelengths that are partially or completely absorbed by carotenes.
  • carotenes such as ⁇ -carotene absorb electromagnetic waves having wavelengths from about 350 to about 550 nanometers (nm), with the best absorption occurring at from about 400 to about 500 run.
  • ophthalmic agent means any compound, composition, or drug, other than carotenes, useful for ameliorating ophthalmic maladies in canines.
  • conjunction means that one or more carotenes and one or more ophthalmic agents are administered to canines (1) together, e.g., in a food composition, or (2) separately at the same or different frequency using the same or different administration routes at about the same time or periodically.
  • Periodically means that the agent is administered on a dosage schedule acceptable for a specific agent and that the food is fed to canines routinely as appropriate for the particular animal.
  • About the same time generally means that the food and agent are administered at the same time or within about 72 hours of each other.
  • In conjunction specifically includes administration schemes wherein an ophthalmic agent is administered for a prescribed period and carotenes are administered indefinitely.
  • single package means that the components of a kit are physically associated, in or with one or more containers, and considered a unit for manufacture, distribution, sale, or use.
  • Containers include, but are not limited to, bags, boxes or cartons, bottles, packages of any type or design or material, over-wrap, shrink-wrap, affixed components (e.g., stapled, adhered, or the like), or combinations of any of the foregoing.
  • a single package kit may provide containers of individual compounds and/or compositions physically associated such that they are considered a unit for manufacture, distribution, sale, or use.
  • kits are associated by directions on one or more physical or virtual kit components instructing the user how to obtain the other components, e.g., in a bag or other container containing one component and directions instructing the user to go to a website, contact a recorded message or a fax-back service, view a visual message, or contact a caregiver or instructor to obtain, for example, instructions on how to use the kit, or safety or technical information about one or more components of a kit.
  • Examples of information that can be provided as part of a virtual kit include instructions for use; safety information such as material safety data sheets; poison control information; information on potential adverse reactions; clinical study results; dietary information such as food composition or caloric composition; general information on ophthalmic maladies; diseases that affect ophthalmic function, or general information on treatment or preservation of ophthalmic maladies; self-help relating to ophthalmic maladies; caregiver information for those caring for canines with ophthalmic maladies; and use, benefits, and potential side-effects or counter-indications for ophthalmic agents.
  • safety information such as material safety data sheets; poison control information; information on potential adverse reactions; clinical study results; dietary information such as food composition or caloric composition
  • general information on ophthalmic maladies diseases that affect ophthalmic function, or general information on treatment or preservation of ophthalmic maladies
  • self-help relating to ophthalmic maladies caregiver information for those caring for canines with ophthalmic maladies
  • quality of life means the ability to enjoy normal life activities.
  • extending the prime means extending the number of years an animal lives a healthy life and not just extending the number of years an animal lives, e.g., an animal would be healthy in the prime of its life for a relatively longer time.
  • the invention provides methods for ameliorating ophthalmic maladies in canines.
  • the methods comprise administering to the canines an ophthalmic malady ameliorating amount of one or more carotenes.
  • the invention is based upon the unexpected discovery that carotenes accumulate in canine eye tissue and the knowledge that carotenes are effective for absorbing radiation that damages the eye and for ameliorating damage caused to the eye by free radicals.
  • the discovery contradicts current beliefs that carotenes are not accumulated in canine eye tissue and the knowledge that carotenes do not accumulate in human eye tissue.
  • Yeum Yeum KJ, Taylor A, Tang G, Russell RM. Measurement of carotenoids, retinoids, and tocopherols in human lenses.
  • eye tissue is known to contain xanthophylls such as lutein and zeaxanthin but is known not to contain carotenes such as ⁇ -carotene and lycopene.
  • the methods comprise administering to the canines an ophthalmic malady ameliorating amount of one or more carotenes, wherein the carotenes have accumulated in canine eye tissue.
  • any carotenes in the eye must be derived from external sources, e.g., the diet.
  • eye tissue i.e., human eye tissue
  • the consumption of carotenes produces a short term systemic elevation of carotenes.
  • canine eye tissue selectively absorbs carotenes and keeps carotenes within the eye tissue, i.e., canine eye tissue accumulates carotenes.
  • These carotenes remain in the eye even when carotenes are not being consumed regularly and the systemic level of carotenes has declined.
  • This accumulation of carotenes provides protection against radiation and free radicals and ameliorates ophthalmic maladies in the canines caused by radiation and free radicals. Therefore, at least for canines, the surprising discovery that carotenes accumulate in canine eye tissue gives the canine an advantage over other animals because the accumulated carotenes absorb harmful electromagnetic radiation and scavenges free radicals that are known to cause ophthalmic maladies.
  • the carotenes accumulate in the eyes, including eye tissue susceptible to damage from radiation and free radicals.
  • the carotenes accumulate in the cortical eye tissue, the nuclear eye tissue, or both. Carotenes that accumulate in such tissue provide protection to the lens and related tissue by preventing damage by radiation and free radicals.
